I've owned a 92 sc300 2jzge and maybe wanna go back
, I loved how easy it was to work with and reliablility was awesome! I've narrowed my search down to either an 00-02 ls1 fbody or a late model sc300 (vvti would be nice). Although the sc is a great looking car I would probobally get bored with the speed pretty quickly so my question is what are the easiest ways to get power out of that 3.0 liter? I think turbo is out of the question because i won't have the funds or a shop to get it done.

OBD1 SC300 with a 1JZGTE motor swap. Motor sets are $1200 complete and its a bolt in job becides extending 40 or so wires. You can do it all yourself with basic hand tools and a cherry picker and a weekend (or a month like me, working 1hr a day then getting sidetracked)
Average speed with just a boost controller is mid 13s @ 103 mph. 20mpg. 100% reliable.

i edited your post with the correct info....
if you need to, get on a plane to get the right SC. i drove 3 hours eachway for my first, and flew out and drove 8hours back for the second... its worth it.
